Revised Non-Employee Board of Director Compensation Policy

     On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Sharps Compliance Corp. (the "Company" or "Sharps") approved fiscal year 2011 Board of Director compensation for the Company's non-employee directors, as follows: (i) 10,000 shares of restricted stock, vesting on a quarterly basis over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, subject to the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through each vesting date, (ii) an annual retainer for all non-employee directors of $24,000 ($40,000 for the non-executive Chairman of the Board), paid $6,000 ($10,000 for the non-executive Chairman of the Board) subsequent to each attended quarterly Board of Directors meeting (no more than two meetings attended telephonically), (iii) 1,500 shares of restricted stock for the chairperson of the Audit Committee and 750 shares of restricted stock for each other Audit Committee member (vesting on a quarterly basis over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, subject to the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through each vesting date), (iv) 750 shares of restricted stock for the chairperson of the Compensation Committee and 500 shares of restricted stock for each member of the Compensation Committee (vesting on a quarterly basis over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, subject to the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through each vesting date), (v) 1,000 shares of restricted stock for the chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee and 500 shares of restricted stock for each Corporate Governance Committee member (vesting on a quarterly basis over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, subject to the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through each vesting date), (vi) 12,000 shares of restricted stock for the non-executive Chairman of the Board (vesting on a quarterly basis over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, subject to the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through each vesting date) and (vii) each non-employee director will receive fees of $1,000 for each special Board meeting attended in person or via telephone.

Prior Policy

The above revised policy replaces, in its entirety, the prior non-employee director compensation policy and primarily addresses the elimination of the Lead Independent Director and creation of a new position for non-executive Chairman of the Board. A summary of changes are listed below:

a. an increase of 2,000 shares of restricted stock per year, awarded to each non-employee director;

b. an annual cash retainer of $40,000 for the non-executive Chairman of the Board (versus $24,000 for other Board members), paid $10,000 subsequent to each attended quarterly Board of Directors meeting; and

c. replacement of the 3,000 shares of restricted stock per year to the Lead Independent Director with 12,000 shares of restricted stock per year for the non-executive Chairman of the Board.
Stock Option Awards

On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the following stock option awards:

Officer
Stock Options
Claude A. Dance, Senior V.P., Sales and Marketing
35,000
Al Aladwani, V.P., Quality Control and Assurance

The stock options will be granted under the Company's 2010 Stock Plan and will vest over a three year period (one-third at end of each year). The exercise price of the options will be equal to the quoted end of trading day market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. Shares under the 2010 Stock Plan, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company on November 18, 2010, will be available for grant once the related registration statement and other required documents are finalized and filed, as required, with the SEC.

Executive Compensation

On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual compensation of Al Aladwani (V.P., Quality Control and Assurance) from $160,000 per year to $170,000 per year effective November 22, 2010.
